Is Imperial L26 "Pilgrimage" blended yeast an Andechs strain?

Totally agree. I can’t understand why more yeast propagators aren’t producing and marketing the heck out of Andechs strain lager yeasts. L26 “Pilgrimage” and 835x are both seasonal releases (L26 was first released in 2022).
Well, now we've got at least one more propagator. I think Bootleg does a BETA release at least twice a year, probably more, so you'll have another chance at it. I was also really impressed with how quickly it flocced out when I did the starter. Pitched it into the starter at about 9pm and it already had a beautiful, persistent bed of yeast by midday the next day!

Wyeast used to have 2105-PC (Coor’s house strain) as a seasonal release, but hasn’t made it available for the past three years, so it’s pretty rare and hard to get your hands on it. I’ve used it in the past to make Coor’s Banquet and Coor’s Light clones with great success.
That one is interesting. I'm not sure it would be something I would seek out regularly but I'd never know until I try it. I'll keep an eye out and try to post back if it pops up on the radar. Looking pretty stagnant, though :confused:

*EDIT* It's right there in their announcement. Three seasonal releases with 3 BETA strains each time.
